Re: [PATCH][v2] http authentication via prompts (with correct line lengths)

Elsewhere we seem to protect use of CURL_NETRC_OPTIONAL by checking
for LIBCURL_VERSION_NUM >= 0x070907. I have an ancient curl here
(curl-7.9.3-2ssl) which doesn't seem to have this option, so building
next is broken on AIX for me from this morning (c33976cb).

Yeah, I did this as "How about doing it this way without adding a band-aid
configuration options" demonstration, and meant to clean it up (rather,
meant to wait for the original submitter to clean-up) before moving it
forward, but I forgot.  Sorry about that.

How does this look?

http://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/c/curl_easy_setopt.html seems to say "added in
7.X.Y" for some options but does say when CURLOPT_USERPWD was added, so I
am assuming it was available even in very early versions...

Subject: [PATCH] http.c: CURLOPT_NETRC_OPTIONAL is not available in ancient versions of cURL

Besides, we have already called easy_setopt with the option before coming
to this function if it was available, so there is no need to repeat it
here.
